Founders Introduction
Luke Hitchins
It was perhaps the legacy of my Gardening Grandad which sparked a career path to be trodden enthusiastically down the horticultural route. Memories of Grandad Robin proudly preparing and exhibiting his floral masterpieces at the Church Hall’s annual Spring flower show flourish in my mind every time new Daffodil buds burst and sing each Spring.It was during a period of time working for a cob building company in the rolling hills of East Devon where Grandad had lived, when I decided upon a switch from the previous studies of Architecture to a more spiritually satisfying Landscape Architecture.A Masters degree in Landscape Architecture gained I set to work using the newly gained skills in Landscape theory, computer aided design and photoshop to support and
contribute to a busy team of designers.
Not long in to this time with the Landscape professionals however and a truer calling was evident. I became frustrated at pixel generated trees being dragged around a screen being used to design places of what I felt should be nature connection. I felt it was required to get to know the natural things more intimately to know how to represent their beauty for human experience.
I love with every sinew my time spent ‘getting to know’ nature and plants as I manage my own gardening business. Evolving with the nature around me, ideas and philosophies gain momentum. I truly believe If you engage with your garden, you enhance your life. I want my clients to become inspired by their gardens, I want them to feel at peace in them, to feel like they are home and yet connected to something larger.’
